| Publisher Description: IDW is proud to introduce a new line of graphic novels that adapt some of the best-loved books of all time. The second book in the line is Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Oliver Twist is the story of a young orphan who is subjected to ill-treatment in institutions in Victorian England. He falls into the clutches of the ghastly Fain and comes into contact with the seediest parts of London. The adventures of young Oliver are a story of fear, poverty, and the darkness of the human soul. Our young hero, caught between good and evil, has to survive amidst crime and a group of characters who are each worse than the other. |
